​Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) is set to implement changes to the system's current pass-discount structure. The following adjustments will go into effect on July 1, 2016:

Restructuring the weekly pass; Currently, the weekly pass allows unlimited rides for seven days but costs the same as 10 local rides ($22.00). The restructured weekly pass will continue to allow unlimited rides for seven days, but will cost the same as 14 local rides ($30.80).

Eliminating the 20% volume discount for organizations currently at the top tier of the Employee Transportation Coordinator (ETC) purchase program. ​

These proposed changes are being implemented in an effort to offset a $2.8 million operating budget shortfall projected for fiscal year 2017 and will take effect July 1, 2016.
